Eco-design an innovation strategy. Support of a manufacturing model, based on the circular economy

Luis Alberto Arroyo González — 2024-07-01

The first part of this article develops what is called as assertion, in which the thesis is presented that will be defended throughout the research work.

In the same part, the concepts related to the three are broken down, with the idea of justifying the value of the article, the strength and importance of the assertion.

In the second part, the evidence of the assertion is shown through data that reveal and support the concepts, but also shows the numbers that have been obtained from the implementation of eco-design as an innovation strategy in the production system of the circular economy.

The third part corresponds to the guarantee, which functions as a link between the evidence and the assertion. This section shows a box in which the key characteristics of the circular economy are related to the enabling factors of the economy, including eco-design and eco-innovation.

The fourth part of the work corresponds to the support, in the same section an empirical statistical study is presented in which the factor analysis was used with the intention of ?knowing the level of characterization of the design dimension of eco-innovation, said study is called "Towards a better understanding of eco-innovation as an engine of sustainable competitiveness"

This is how the factorial analysis through variables described, was used to characterize the design dimension of eco-innovation, analyzing the communities of the variables, Hermosilla, JC, del Río González, P., Kiefer, CP, & Barroso, FJC (2016).

The scientific study that supports the above-mentioned guarantee is the one published by Hermosilla, et al, (2016) entitled "Towards a better understanding of eco-innovation as an engine of sustainable competitiveness". The factor analysis was carried out on 10 variables, the results are of great importance for both the public and private sphere in the decision making for the implementation of policies and strategies in the dimensions of eco-design.

The fifth part of the work shows what is called a reserve, it shows the work done by Martinez Alier in which he states that the economy is far from being a circular production system and argues that the economy is in any case obeys the second law of thermodynamics, which is entropy.

Finally, the modal qualifier is addressed and in it the degree of certainty and the strength of the assertion is specified, in this section the adverb of certainty or affirmation that is "indisputably" is justified.

Huentli Yolotli Suárez Espinosa — 2024-07-01

The objective of the study is to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on global, regional and national international tourism as well as its recovery. A theoretical microeconomic analysis of the market of interest is carried out; quantitative at a descriptive level of the variables over time with data from the website of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO); at an inferential level for the global case with which the trend of international arrivals in the absence of COVID-19 is analyzed and contrasted with actual arrivals. The results show that by March 2023 globally, 80.71 percent of the pre-pandemic level has been reached, in the Americas region almost 87 percent, and in Mexico it has reached 84.72 percent of the level registered in 2019. Regionally, the Middle East has surpassed the pre-pandemic level while the Asia and Pacific region has recovered more slowly.

Kayode David Kolawole — 2024-07-01

This study examined the influence of financial intermediation on Nigeria’s economic growth. Secondary data employed in the study was sourced from the 2021 Statistical Bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria. The obtained data were subjected to autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) models. The study revealed that credit to the private sector has contributed positively to the economic growth. Finally, the study indicated a significant positive relationship between the total volume of shares traded and economic growth in Nigeria. Consequently, the study concluded that financial intermediation plays a pivotal role in influencing economic growth within the country.

Local development, an alternative to poverty in Cuba?

Yanelis Pereira García — 2024-07-01

The topic of poverty is a taboo topic in Cuba. The Cuban authorities promote the country as having upper-middle income and no studies are conceived that address the issue of poverty from the scientific academy or the official media. However, the reality of Cuba from 2017 onwards, with the Trump administration in power, the tightening of the economic blockade and the addition of other impact issues, projects a generalized crisis in all sectors. This situation is an alarm to think about poverty as a problem and draw up social policies that understand local development as a viable path to recovery.
